Oldham boss Paul Dickov doesn’t want history to repeat itself when they visit Dagenham and Redbridge on Saturday.

The Latics head to Victoria Road on the back of last weekend’s impressive victory over Huddersfield Town.

However, any supporters believing three points are in the bag against John Still’s strugglers have been told to think back a fortnight.

Then, Athletic headed to Accrington Stanley buoyed by victory over Plymouth Argyle, only to lose 3-2 in their FA Cup first round tie.

“I shouldn’t have to motivate the players at all,” said Dickov.

“All we have to do is look back two weeks and the trip to Accrington when we weren’t at it. We’re going there and respecting Dagenham because they’re a good team at home and John Still’s done a fantastic job, but we’ll have to go there and do the right things.”

Dickov will have to make at least two changes from the side which won seven days earlier with Dean Furman and Filipe Morais both suspended.

Nevertheless, he will be able to call upon England Under-19 international Aidan White who joined on loan from Leeds United yesterday.

The 19-year-old, who was Leeds’ young player of the year last season, has agreed a deal at Boundary Park until January 3 and will boost Dickov’s options on the left-hand side.

Departing Boundary Park is Jon Worthington after he agreed a loan move to Fleetwood Town.
